With the prospect of 150 clan rats overrunning a much lesser number of knights and peasants (each worth about 1/2 a rat in a knights opinion) I decided I need a trebuchet. The GW one is technically unavailable (Maelstrom doesn't sell it) and I think the money required to buy it would be better spent on food and shelter. After seeing some plans for making your own on The Round Table forum, I decided to give it a shot. I'm quite happy with the result so far. I just need to fill the gaps with greenstuff and add some details to it. My only concern is that it's rather large, but I guess that's in keeping with the new epic stature of 8th edition FB.

Some Rat Poison!

Very cool. With that counterweight, it looks functional, too.
ReplyDeleteBefore I attached the ropes, it actually did work!
ReplyDeleteThat looks great Mike.
ReplyDeleteJust remember, to keep with the current Warhammer zeigeist, you will need to build a castle and a village as a display stand with your Brettonians before you can go to a tournament with them.
That's brilliant bit of kit. Good job! I think its much better than the GW model. Look forward to seeing it painted-up.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Just don't blow on it or it will fly apart. ;)
ReplyDeleteWait'll you see my three-foot tall scratch-built Screaming Bell...
ReplyDeleteI keed, I keed. Looks awesome Mike, nice job!
